SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the manual work of connecting SendGrid to a remote Hermes agent so transactional email can be configured safely from an AI coding agent.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Sets up SendGrid over SSH with a restricted Mail Send API key and a verified sender identity.
  • Supports two wiring paths: direct REST API usage by default, or an opt-in community MCP server when requested.
  • Handles idempotent setup, scope validation, gateway reloads, smoke tests, and rollback so the integration can be repeated safely.
  • Useful when you need your Hermes VPS to send account emails, notifications, or test messages without hand-editing server config.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to connect SendGrid to your Hermes VPS using a restricted Mail Send key and a verified from address.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure SendGrid transactional email on a remote VPS using SSH?

SendGrid transactional email on a remote VPS is configured over SSH by applying a restricted API key, verifying a from address, reloading gateways, and running smoke tests. The agent wires the connection directly into the environment file.

What SendGrid API key scope do I need to send transactional mail from Hermes?

SendGrid transactional mail from Hermes requires a restricted SG.-prefixed API key with Mail Send scope. You must also provide a verified from address to complete the sender identity check during setup.

Can I connect an MCP server for email delivery instead of direct REST API?

An MCP server for email delivery is supported as an opt-in community path alongside default direct REST API usage. You can request the community MCP registration when wiring SendGrid to your self-hosted Hermes agent.

Is SendGrid setup idempotent and rollback-safe for repeated Hermes environment updates?

SendGrid setup is fully idempotent and rollback-safe for Hermes environment updates. It validates scopes, checks sender verification, and performs safe re-runs so the integration can be repeated without corrupting server config.

What happens if my SendGrid from address is not verified before wiring Hermes?

If your SendGrid from address is not verified, the Hermes wiring fails the sender verification check. The smoke test validates this identity first, preventing failed email delivery from your VPS deployment.
